People posting on their own profiles -_-

[Narrat0r]

This gets really annoying. There are a lot of users that, when they get a visitor message, answer it by posting on their own profile, and therefore, the one who sent them the message can't see it until they visit the other user's profile. THIS IS NOT FACEBOOK. You can't share things by just posting it on your "wall". Just wanted to complain about this since a lot of users do this, even some with high reputation.

I did that too last few years until few days ago someone taught me how to use this function correctly. There should be something that tells how things work.

Same here.

Its not their fault, the idea of replying on anothers wall for a conversation that started on yours isnt exactly the most obvious thing to do.

 

[Narrat0r]

Still, there should at least be something to warn them about this.

I did it to begin with, I stopped quite instantly however.

Hmmm could it be possible to have a bot or something auto-vm new members explaining how VMs work? I've noticed this too, though you can't exactly punish them or anything

people are dumb

Really annoying; I used to do it before when I was just starting with THW. I stopped posting on my own profile at 4-19-10; from then on I pressed the View Conversation button everytime.

Sometimes they need to reply to multiple users but are too lazy to open multiple pages.

I figured how the system worked by pressing the View Conversation button, but I just don't like to see walls of avatars and visitor messages by the same person on people's profiles. So I reply on my profile, and honestly, that's how the system should work.

I used to do the same thing. Personally, I completely agree with Rui, I find it annoying to have to go to a whole different profile to post a reply to someone that commented on your profile.

I think this could be easily solved by adding a [REPLY] button to VMs, that either redirects you to the profile of the poster, or opens a reply field that is posted on the correct wall - so that you reply on your profile, but the message is posted on the other profile.

Sticky it?

 

[Ralle]

LOL I never thought about that. Thanks!

The problem is that that relies on one user constantly checking your profile for updates

Something like; a small tutorial that allows them to learn how to use some of Hive's most helpful features.

Like:

• How to Properly Reply to a Visitor Message
• A Thorough Explanation of all of the Tabs under the UserCP
• BBCode Usage (Other than the BBCode list; teaching the most commonly used BBCodes)
• THW's Rules
• Recommended Resources that show the high standards of THW

I know there are some more that could be added to the tutorial; but I got mental-blocked.

LOL I never thought about that. Thanks!

Ever heard there is a sucker born every minutes? XD

 

[Pyritie]

Maybe just change the "View Conversation" text to "View Conversation/Reply" or something?
